Acerca de este producto

Product Information

The 1928 quest for the Land Speed Record on the sands of Daytona Beach was a first for America, a singular mix of technology, thrills and tragedy. Tens of thousands lined the dunes along the beach, a crowd larger than any yet seen at Indianapolis 500. Three contenders, two Americans and a Briton, raced for the ultimate distance-averaged top speed, in magnificent machines built by different schools of design. This book chronicles the high-speed drama. The top American driver, Frank Lockhart, 25, survived a spectacular accident and rebuilt his Stutz Black Hawk, only to meet his fate in the new runs. The facts and myths behind the competition are examined in depth for the first time, along with the innovations and fatal mistakes of vehicle design.

Reviews
Zana puts the reader on the sand while the course is being marked and timing lines strung. Then, too, on the days of scheduled runs when Mother Nature wasn't cooperative sending crosswinds over the course and corrugating the sand until, finally, days when all is good to go with spectators, each having paid a 50-cent admission, in attendance along with the reader experiencing the drama, the action, and, yes, the tragedy as all were part of the contest for 1928's land speed record.-- Antique Automobile|9781476680873|, "Extensive background information....a thorough look at the aerodynamics of the cars, the development of their engines, and an assessment of vehicular weight versus horsepower. An interesting read about a landmark event in racing history and the cars and personalities at the center of it....recommended"-- Choice, "An extraordinary automotive racing history and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library collections."-- Midwest Book Review, "A grand story which Zana tells in detail chronologically so the reader is along for the successes, the failures, the frustrations, the tragedy and the boredom when rains, incoming tides or crosswinds made any attempted run impossible...It's a story that has captivated Zana's fascination and attention for decades as he continually gathered information until he felt he could tell it more fully and completely than any had accomplished before. The book belongs in any enthusiast/historian's library as well as that of those simply wanting to learn about those dramatic 1928 land speed record runs on the sands of Daytona Beach."-- SAH Journal .
